(1:28 PM) Jenny - No Mic : Circulation and Patron count still way down. :( The screening services killed the dvd stars. Had to ban 4 teens first week of summer (6 month ban) for harassment and throwing rocks. No further problems that way, but two community members called the police on them, so police contact may have helped with them staying good. Changed our hours so the library is only open 2 hours after city hall closes to see if that will help. 
(1:31 PM) Teresa: what is everyone's time limit in the library?
(1:32 PM) Rhinelander  Library: Oh, Peggy.  We have that too.  Someone has tried to open a rent-a -space in Rhinelander
(1:33 PM) Anne: I love the Brown County Library co-work space!
(1:33 PM) Anne: wait... is that GreenBay?

(1:34 PM) Kay: no time limits in Granton
(1:35 PM) Jenny - No Mic :  Abbotsford removed in library time limits. Study rooms and Computers still at 1 hours with the ability to extend if for non-recreation use. 
(1:35 PM) Peggy O'Connell: We have a two hour time limit in our study rooms, other wise we are not hard core enforcing time limits, but if we reach capacity we would ask people to leave.
(1:36 PM) Vicky: Colby Challenges:  People asking for programming events and playroom open!  And they want study rooms open on rainy days--they use the outdoor gazebo area on nice days.
(1:36 PM) Jenny - No Mic : Changing my adult craft night to in person, have had a couple requests to keep making the take-n-makes, for them, but too time consuming and difficult to find a crafts that work on an adult level. 
(1:39 PM) Deb: no just trying to keep up with everything
(1:40 PM) Rhinelander  Library: Balance.  You got that right.
(1:40 PM) Teresa: For our performer tomorrow, we are requiring masks so I'm anticipating that to be a challenge!
(1:41 PM) Teresa: People came in to cool down, but didn't stay long.
(1:44 PM) Deb: Can't wait to have in person programming.  Story time, family fun night, and Home School Huddle.
(1:46 PM) Anne: Beanstack offers ready to roll templates that might help!
(1:46 PM) Kay: i am hoping to take more advantage of those
(1:46 PM) Deb: yes

(1:50 PM) Jessica Zellers she/her/hers: Internet skipped out here, too.

I don't know what our programming will look like for the fall here in Merrill, but I know for sure I'd love to start some deep weeding in our collections.
(1:51 PM) Jenny - No Mic : More people in the library than I can stay on with, so signing off. 
(1:55 PM) Jessica Zellers she/her/hers: Local health authorities are not being as prescriptive as I might want. That's their job, isn't it? 
(1:57 PM) Peggy O'Connell: Agree Jessica!
(1:58 PM) Kay: the other day went into mcdonalds no mask- however there was a sign on the bathroom door that said you needed to wear a mask in the bathroom
(1:58 PM) Teresa: Thank you Marla and WVLS staff
